Reproductive System Basics
Types of Reproduction Two Types of Reproduction Asexual: A single parent produces offspring genetically identical to itself. Single-celled organisms. BACTERIA Identical Offspring Original parent
2
More uniform offspring
3
Requires one parent
4
REGENERATION occurs when part of an organism grows to form other organisms that are often still connected to the original organism.
5
FRAGMENTATION occurs when the body of the parent breaks into distinct pieces, each of which can produce an offspring.
6
Planaria reproduce by fragmentation and regeneration
7
Starfish reproduce by fragmentation and regeneration
8
BUDDING occurs when a small part of the parent's body separates from the rest and develops into a new individual, eventually becoming an independent organism.
9
Yeast – a type of bacteria that you use in bread. Reproduce by budding.
10
Hydra – found in lakes and ponds. Reproduce by budding.
11
BINARY FISSION occurs when a cell simply grows larger, copies its DNA in genes and chromosomes, and then forms a cell membrane down the mid-section of the cell to form 2 new 'daughter' cells.
12
Amoeba reproduces by binary fission.
13
Bacteria reproduces by binary fission.
14
Reproductive System Basics
Two Types of Reproduction Sexual: Offspring is produced by combining the genetics of two parents. Multicellular organisms.
15
Requires two parents
16
More genetic variation
17
Asexual vs. Sexual Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction
18
Asexual vs. Sexual Reproduction
A single parent cell produces offspring that are exactly like the parent. Two parent cells join together and develop into a new individual Living things make other living things like themselves The new individual has the exact same traits as the parent Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction The new individual shares traits from both parents All organisms must reproduce in order for their kind to survive Most single celled organisms Most animals Humans Strawberry Plants; amoebas; coral
19
Asexual or Sexual ? Involves two parents.
20
Creates Genetically Diverse Offspring
Asexual or Sexual ? Creates Genetically Diverse Offspring
21
Creates Genetically Identical Offspring
Asexual or Sexual ? Creates Genetically Identical Offspring
22
Asexual or Sexual ? Ex: Animals
23
Single Celled Organisms
Asexual or Sexual ? Single Celled Organisms
24
Involves only one parent.
Asexual or Sexual ? Involves only one parent.
25
Example: Bacteria, Hydra & a Starfish
Asexual or Sexual ? Example: Bacteria, Hydra & a Starfish
26
Multicellular Organisms
Asexual or Sexual ? Multicellular Organisms

CLASSIFYING ORGANISMS
Objective: Classify the following illustrations as either SEXUAL or ASEXUAL organisms.
28
Title: Bacteria
29
Title: Fetus
30
Title: Albino Spider & Alligator
ALBINO= lack of normal pigments in the skin that give the organism it’s natural color. It is a genetic abnormality.
31
Title: ANTRHRAX Bacillus Anthrasis
32
Title: A Cat
33
Title: Hungry Lions
34
Title: Wrinkle-Face Bat
35
Title: Budding Yeast Cells
36
Title: Starfish (Regeneration of limb)
37
Title: Monkey
38
Title: Budding Hydra
39
Title: Aye-Aye (From Madagascar)
Unique Characteristics= the Aye-Aye has long fingers that tap on the tree branch only to spear it’s prey. It has big ears to detect movement of its prey at night inside the tree.

Title: Sharks
